A recent Washington dispatch

A recent Washington dispatch says that Secretary Bayard is having great difficulty in finding suitable men who are willing to serve on the proposed fisheries commission. It IS understood that he proposes that this commission shall consider four questions now presenting themselves between the United States land Canada: The Atlantic fisheries, the Alaska seal fisheries, the Alaska boundary dis pute and the question of com mercial reciprocity, or free trade, between Canada and the United States, as advocated by Represen- tative Butterworth. It is difficult to get any one of prominent ability to go on the commission, because there is nothing in the position that promises anything but severe criticism. They will not be given any direct power, and 1t is alto gether possible that congress will repudiate anything that they do. Mir. Bayard, it is expected, has conceded to Canada that the treaty of 1878 is in force, which was dis puted in the house and senate.
 Since the foregoing was put in type it is learned that the Presi- dent has appointed Hon. William Putnam of Maine and Hon. James B. Angell of Michigan to act with the secretary of state in the negotiations for tue settlement with Great Britain of the fisheries question, which both gentlemen have accepted. Putnam has been counsel for the | mted States for the last two years in the cases arising under the law and treaty in connection with the fisheries dispute. Angell is president of the university of Michigan and has had experience in interna- ti0pal transactiops

According to dispatches of the 18th ut. it would appear that Governor Zulick has very decided opinions upon the amenabillty of the Indians to the civil laws. Re lative to the arrest of Eskiminzen and a number of his band, General O. o. Howard telegraphed from San Francisco to the Governor as follows: 'General Miles reports that Sheriff Fryer, of Pinal county, proposes arresting 2 San Carlos Indians and calls for mill tary assistance. Please see to the matter before a stampede occurs and a terrible war is inaugurated." Gov. Zulick replied: Major Gen eral Howard: I haveno knowledge save your dispatch. If Sheriff Fryer is armed with the legal process and is directed to arrest San Carlos Indians, on or off the reservation, he should be given all the necessary assistance Indian criminals are as amenable to the laws as are other criminals. The mandates of the court must be obeyed. Resistance to such au- thority constitutes additional crime"

It is said by those who have looked ihe matter up that the latest postal laws arc such that newspaper publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under the law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time unpaid and then orders the postmaster to mark it Ere fused" and has a card sent noti- flying the publisher, lays himself liable to arrest and fine the same as a thief

A great deal of adverse comment has lately been made by the terri torial press upon what was sup posed to be Judge Wright's action in regard to the Apache county law breakers. It now appears that Judge Wright had nothing to do with the matter at all, but that it was an agreement entered into between the district attorney of Apache county and the attorney on the other side, and that when the Judge was approached in re- gard to the matter he indignantly gave the attorneys to understand that he would have nothing to do with the matter.

That fine Egyptian monolith now in Central Park, New York, and popularly known as Cleo patra's Needle" has been quite thrown into the shade, so far as height is concerned, by a granite shaft recently quarried by the Bodwell Granite company. It is the largest single piece of stone ever taken from any known quarry in ancient or modern times. The shaft is 115 feet long, 10 feet square at the base, and weighs $50 tons.

Judge Sumner Howard appear ed before the Supreme court yes- terday and practically abandoned that noted case of Conwell, taken to the Supreme court on appeal from Yavapai county. The ques- tion was raised as to the legality of the law passed by the last leg islature which imposes a tax of fifty dollars per quarter on all saloons. Several of the so called newspapers of the Territory, no- tably the Star, Herald and Journal Miner, maintained as they claimed in the interast (?) of the Territory that the journals were improperly kept, and the laws enacted by that body were illegal. But Judge Howard told the Supreme court that that proposition was abandoned, and now they base their hopeless claims on the up- constitutionality of the law. They claim it is discriminating in its character, and void. Thus these journals receive another set back in their frantic efforts to ''benefit" the Territory.-Phenix Gazette.

Surveyors are at work laying of the lines of the military reserva- ton at Fort Verde, preparatory to removing a portion of the Apaches there, and the citizens of that portion of the Territory are ex- ceedingly indignant at the action of the governmentin ill putting them there. It will have one good effect any way. After they have resided there a short time the chances are that the press and people of Yavapai county will join a little more heartily with their southern brethern in an eff fort for the abolishment of the red devils from the Territory alto gether, the only method that will insure peace and protection to our citizens.

The Tucson Star is authority for the statement that ''it appears to be settled that during this com ing winter the Southern Pacific track will be changed. From Gila Bend it will be run to Phenix, thence via the new road to Mari copa. The track between the lat ter place and Gila Bend is to be taken up as it passes through an unproductive section. The new line will be tributary to more than one hundred miles of fine agricul- tural land which will contribute to the traffic of the road a large quantity of agricultural pro- ducts"

The Winfield, Kansas, Courier

The Winfield, Kansas, Courier is after its delinquent subscribers. It has just collected, through the courts. S1.75 from a subscriber who removed to Illinois without settling. The costs to the delin- quent in the case were S26. The Deming Headlight proposes to follow a like example, and says: Throwing the paper back into the postoffice, marked 'refused.' don't pay the subscription price, and the paper will be sent right along until it is paid for. The law provides an easy way for collecting newspaper bills, and we purpose collecting ours" That's right, Brother Pennington; go for 'em, and keep us posted as to how it works. We may want to try 1t ourselves.

The great international yacht race for the American cup has been sailed, and the emblem still remains on this side of the Allan tic. The Thistle, which proved to be the fastest boat on the other side of the pond, was no match for her American competitor, the Volunteer, and was easily beaten in the first two races. The first race was sailed on the 27th ut. over what is known as the inside course and resulted in a crushing defeat for the Thistle, although the conditions of the race were supposed to be much more favor able to the Scotch yacht than to the American, but the latter out pointed and outfooted the latter from the very first and won by 193 minutes. The second race was sailed on the 30th and the course lay twenty miles out to sea and return and was won by the Vol unteer by ten minutes. The wind during this test blew from ten to thirty miles an hour, but, as in preceding race. the Volunteer clearly proved her superior sea- going qualities, not only outpoint- ing her. but iu running before the wind she held up better than the Thistle, which buried her bows a1d carried a good quantity of the ocean on her decks. Dispatches received state that the result of the race was received on the Clyde with great surprise and bitter dis appointment, the Thistle being a favorite at odds.

The Phenix Gazette says no bald-headed man is taken into the United States army as a recruit This rule has been adopted to con- ciliate the friendly Indian. Moth ing exasperates an Indian so much as to kill a United States soldier and then be deprived of the pleas ure of scalping him. Such an out rage on the friendly Indians is calculated to goad them on to war. It is at the request of the Indians that the Secretary of War issued the order that none but scalpable recruits should be received into the army.

The National Assoclation of Brewery Employees have agreed to disagree with Master Workman Powderly of the Knights of Labor, and have resolved to denounce him because of his opposition to the manufacture and sale of intoxi- cants, and because the order which he represents prohibits the ad- mission of those engaged in the business of making or selling liquor, and especially because Mir. Powderly, in his speeches proved himself opposed to the sale of in- toxicating beverages.

Charlie Stein, who used his knife on Parson Black at Lordsburg some time since, and who was once resident of and we'll known in Clifton, has developed into poet, we learn by the Silver City Enter prise. At present Stein is con- fined at Silver City, and has fur nished for publication the follow ing plaintive ditty: Just came out from Carlisle some pleasure for
 to find. A fair young Lady from Texas so pleasing to my mind. With dark red hair and
 cherry cheeks like arrows pierced my breast, they called her handsome Annie the lily of the West. thought some time of courting her. her love I Was sure to gain, but when she turned her back on me that caused me all this shame.

The New York Herald recently


 gave long account by cores pondent of the California boom, the author of the communication taking the ground that it is land craze. Editorially the Sun said: Our correspondent tells elsewhere a merry tale of the California land boom, or, as it should be called, land craze. It is just now under full headway and sweeping all before It, including the com mon sense of the people. But, after all, the boom has some foun- dation. California is one of the best States in the Union. It has a magnificent climate, and the crowds of people who are focking there take with them not only their money, but their brain and muscle. They go, many of them, to stay and to fight it out on that line. They know that California is full of opportunities and that a stalwart man with eyes in his head may corral two or three and make his fortune. There will be a reaction in this craze and great numbers will lose by it undoubted- ly, still, great many will better themselves, and California is big enough and rich enough to pro- vide beautifully for all who mean business and stick to it."

It begins to look as if the Tonto Basin war might be ended for a while. We have entirely lost track of the different Grahams, Tewks- burys, Blivins, etc, but a Pres colt dispatch of the 27th says th at Sheriff Mulvenon of Yavapai at tempted to arrest John Graham and q man nared Chas. Blivins, and fight ensued in which both of the latter were killed. The Graham gang have dispersed. A telegram has been received by District Attorney Herndon from the Grahams, stating a willingness to surrender themselves provided they are given protection, or if the Tewksburys are captured. The lat ter have all surrendered.
 The killing of Graham and Bliyins and the capture of the Tewksbury party will, in all prob ility end this local war in which so far nine men have been killed and twelve seriously wounded, not to mention a cost to Yavapai county for something in the neigh borhood of S,000.
 Sheriff Mulvenon is on his way to Prescott with the prisoners, where he is expected to arrive about the 29th instant.

Texas engineers yesterday evening They
say the corps is still in camp at Grape
vine, 1t having been decided to run an
other line from Grapevine to Fort Worth
one and half to two miles east of the
Intoxicated to Bransford which it is
thought will prove better and more direct
line. If the second line is the one selected
on which to build the road will very like
ly pass through both Bedford and Bird
vile. Captain Daggett says that Assis-
tsnt Chief Engineer John Witt, in charge
of the party, has been quite sick for sew
eral days and went home for treatment,
but it was thought he would be back at
work by to-day. 1t is said the
company desires the corps
now at Grapevine to complete this
line as quickly as possible and
take the field on the Chandler Fort Worth
and Gatesville- Brownwood lines, which
surveys the company would like to have
finished before the meeting of the direc-
tors at Texarkana on May 4. All but five
or six of the party now at Grapevine will
likely start for the other work in a few
days. Captain Daggett and Mr.. King
both think the eastern line from Grape
vine the better of the two.

pected, a search was instituted for him,
which resulted in finding the spot where
he mad been shot; also traces Of where
something had been dragged off. Fol-
lowing the circuitOus trail about fifteen
miles the officers came to an old deserted
well, and on looking into it found the o.
ject of their search, Martin. He had been
dragged on 8 forked bush, with rope
around his neck, fastened to the horn of
saddle, and his body was frightfully
mangled. Rodriguez was also strongly
suspected OF this murder, but owing to
the death penalty being assessed in the
other cause, no effort was made 10 work
up the case on him.
Martin was in Garcia's employ at the
time of the latter's death and was thought
to have Known too much about it and the
theft of the mules to suit Rodriguez.
Martin had also taken charge of Rodri-
gueZ' wife during his absence, though but
little significance is attached to IT by the
average Mexican.
Locating Rodriguez in Mexico last fall
Sheriff Baylor OF Uvalde county employed
another Mexican to toll him across the
Rio Brazos and had officer posted at
Eagle Pass to at once arrest him and he
was brought here and jailed Immediately,
where he has ever since remained.
Unless the Court of Appeals reverses
and remands his case, which is thought
very improbable, he will be sentenced at
the September term of the District court
and hanged on day fixed by the district

Pail Mall Rudpet.

The English professional beauties have
been succeeded by three or four speci
mems of MIR. Henry James american
young girl" The conversation of the
latter has more fiavor" ABOUT it than
that of an Englishwoman. She keeps you
awake by delicious apprehension as to
'What she'll say next" Like the pro,
fessiopal beauty, she has q drawback.
In the case of the beauty it
was the husband He was difficult
to amuse-that was all In the case
of the "American young grip it is her
mother who is the nuisance. The old
woman is worse than the husband. She
is aggressive and wants to monopolize all
the talk. She is, moreover, imprudent
and foolish to degree.
Mrs. Langtry is severe on Miss For
tescue's powers tC "amuse men," and TO
some extent she is right, for
the young lady's conversation is such
a coruscation of politics, biography and
French poetry that its comprehension
is beyond the power of almost any men
but the London correspondents of the
New York papers. OF her social doings
here or elsewhere Mrs. Langtry csn only
speak now at second or third hand, for in
the days when Mrs. Lsngtry was ABOUT in
society Miss Fortescue was still chorus
gil, supporting herself and her mother
on few pounds week.
